Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1887-09-29

The Chicago Herajd recently con-
taued an interesting talk about Gov.
Rusk. Most of the points mentioned
are familiar to those who know the
Governor, but here is a new one:
When he was fourteen the sup
port of his mother and sisters be-
came dependent upon him. He
worked on the farm till he was
fifteen. Then he took to driving a
stage between GAINESVILLE and New
ark. This was at the time that Gar
field was perambuating on the tow
path exercising lungs and blceps IN
efforts to keep a raw-boned mule
awake. As young man Rusk was
noted throughout the section of
the state in which he lived for his
immense strength and his prowess
as "A wrestler. Garfield likewise at
tanned celebrity as an athlete, and
the two met once in an encounter
which resulted primarily in Gar
fields being thrown over Rnsk's
shoulder, and secoudarily IN friend
ship between the two which endured
till the death of Garfield.
The article closed with the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Such is "Old Jerry;" honest as
the sunlight, with q stock OF the
sterling good sense that is the best
capital Of the self-made men of
America. He is as free of affecta
ton and as friendly and approach
able as when he rode the rear wheel
horse aud drove with single rein
the four nags of the old Concord
stage coach plying between Zanes-
vile and Newark. He has tine
war record and a career in public
service which has been honorable
and admirable. As governor he
has proved himself man who acts
promptly and wisely. 1t Is not to
be wondered at that the Republicans
of Wisconsin are proud of him aud
would like to see him in the Presi-
dental chair. They might 60 farther
and fare worse in their choice Of q
candidate.

Messrs Editors Citizen In obedience
to an order made by the County Com

gresS will relieve us frol.I this onerous
and most odious tax.
The mica interests of the county are
beginning to look up. This has formerly
been a source of great revenue to the
peopl-. May it speedily return.
The Unaca Lumber Company from the
State of Michigan 1 believe, have com.
menced moving timber to Cane River
with the view of floating it to Knoxville,
Tenn. If the experiment proves success
ful-a large extent of country extending
from the mouth of Cane River hi n up
towards its source, will soon be stripped
of its finest trees as other com -anies be
side the Unaka have bought largely of
timber in the same territory. This enter
prise will give employment to quite
number Of our laboring men, and will
consume al part of the large surplus ofI
grain and forage held by the farmers
There are other lumber interests in
the county, but in the main they have
to find market by way Of Tennessee
and Virginia roads, from Johnson City,
Tenn. We pay on cherry and walnut
thirty-one cents per hundred pounds to
Boston; ON the w. n. c. Rail Road on
the same article we have to pay forty
five cents per hundred pounds to the
same point from Alexander. If the terms
were at all equal we would 60 to the W.
n. c. Rail koad, but there is so much
difference in rates that we arc compelled
to seek the 9th r line.
The fruit crop was not good one the
past year, but what there was Of it has
proved quite source of revenue. Two
of our enterprising citizens w. II. Gard
uer and Charles Lissenbee have just re.
turned from Greenyille. Tenn, to which
place they took each wagon load of
Hancey's fine apples for which they got
one dollar end fifty cents per bushel,
thus paying them we'll for their trip.
The only misfortune which attended

sincerity of the Senator from Flori-
da, for he Gall had stoot behind
this polyganist hierarchy every
time that it had any interest to ad-
vance or any wholesome legislation
to resist. He had done so with a
great deal of ability and considera-
BILE zeal He could give the Senator
the praise of being absolutely s.n-
cere in standing by that body of
persons through thick and through
thin, come good, come i'll, and he
expected that the Senator would
continue to do so, and if in the pro-
cess of time Utah should become a
State and the United States Consti-
tuition should be changed so that
one person might he Senator from
two States, he hid no doubt that
the Senator from Florida would be
the first Senator whom the Mormon
hierarchy would select.
After considerable discussion Mr..
Call withdrew his resolution, as he
had attained his object in reading
the Utah 10 emorial himself.
Mr.. Blair then moved to take up
his educational bill and the motion
was agreed to, yeas y, nays Is.
Without further action the Senate
proceeded to executive business.

Belgian miners under contract
to take the place of miners
now on a strike in that sectio that
the striking miners have used every
end-avor to have a settlement OF

the operators have positively refused
to enter into arbitration, and re-
questing the President to notify Off
cials of the Treasury Department of
these facts, and urge them to use
special efforts to prevent the landing
OF the Belgian miners, AMI to see
tnat the law against the Importation
of labor under cOatract is strictly
enforced. Referred to the commits

PYROTECHNICS AND THE SMALL Boy.
4 city ordinance prohibits, under
a heavy penalty, the firing Of cracks
ers, sky-rockets, &C., on the streets
Of the city. AS the Mayor has no
authority to suspend thi ordinance,
the police will Of course have to ar
rest any one guilty. There
are many reasons why such law
should be enforced. The danger of
fi1e, and frightening horses by such
things is very great. But we must
confess we sympathise with the
boys. 1t has not been so many
years since we were a boy of boys
and loved such things and we like
to see others enjoy what boys Of
other days were permitted to7enjoy.
But then we did not live ina crowded
city, and had room enough for our
fun without endangering anybody
or anything. Boys OF this year of
grace will have to get off of public
streets, and into lots away from
possibilities Of danger or doing harm
tosenjoy their fire works. We hope
they will be allowed as much lati-
tude as circumstance will permit,
and may have really good TIM.

DEATH OF A Prominent REPUBLI

DEATH OF A PROMINENT REPUBLI-
CAN STATESMAN.
Rev. W. H. High, colored, for
some years baker OF this city, died
yesterday. after a short ills4ess. He
was, we believe, . member of the
State Constitutional Convention of
1868, the body ofsweet scented noto-
riety, which ruined the State for
years to follow. And High was
about as reputable as any OF his
colleagues, and this is no compli>
ment to him, and was fair speci-
men of those chosen by the Repub-
licans to frame an organic law for a
great people to live under. We
hope he is at rest.

Two negro tramps had secreted them

throwing the negroes off, who were
caught under the falling lumber,
one being killed and tie other so badly

Tramps ought to know by this time that
the Interstate law cannot prevent acri-

steal rides and there is always danger in
such ventures. The cars did not leavo

CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-A Wichita,
Kansas, special says: Snow cons
menced falling here yesterday NOM
ing, and has come down steadily
eyer since. Lrte IN the day bliz>
zard set in from the North, and has
hourly increased in violence. Ad-
VICES are to the effect that the bliz-
zard is general over the West and
that it hss caught the country with
out any adequate supply Of coal. 1t
is known that the railroa eompa-
MES have from some cause failed to
supply the demand on the plains.
There is great fear that much suf-
fering and distress will result from
this sudden change of weather, as it
is certain that the entire districts
are almost entirely without fuel.
